This is what you get
- Nothing added: it is 100% defatted, decaseinated cow’s colostrum, and there are no additives, colourings or preservatives.
- Gently made: according to LR, it is cold-processed rather than pasteurised, so the sensitive components are protected.
- Traceable: LR takes only surplus colostrum from European cows, and each batch can be traced back to the farm.
- Independently checked: it has the SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS quality seal, and the checks include covert test purchases.
- Tiny daily dose: you take 8 ml, which is just 3 kcal.
Are you wondering whether a colostrum product is worth trusting?
Colostrum, sometimes called “first milk” or “beestings”, is the milk a cow produces in the first hours after giving birth. There are many colostrum products online, and they vary widely: where the milk comes from, how it is heated, and what else ends up in the bottle are often unclear. If you are going to take something every day, those are exactly the questions you want answered.
LR answers them in a straightforward way. Colostrum Liquid contains only colostrum from European cows on quality dairy farms, and only the surplus the calf does not need. LR uses colostrum from the first hours, freezes it straight after collection, then removes the fat and casein. It is not pasteurised: LR uses a cold process instead, because the valuable components are sensitive to heat. Nothing else is added, no colourings, no preservatives, no flavourings.
That is why it suits people who care about purity and want to know where their supplement comes from. A capful a day, neat or in cold juice, is all the effort involved.
How do you know it’s good quality?
SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS quality seal
Besides LR’s own checks, the independent SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS regularly inspects every processing step and the finished product. According to LR, its colostrum products were the first on the market to carry this seal, and the checks include covert test purchases.
Made in Germany
Colostrum Liquid is produced in Germany. LR measures every batch and, because it only uses European colostrum, can trace each one back to the farm it came from.
What’s in the bottle?
| Ingredient | Amount | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Cow’s colostrum, defatted and decaseinated | 100% | It is pure first milk from European cows, with nothing else added. |
| Energy | 11 kJ / 3 kcal per 8 ml | It has practically no calories. |
| Fat, carbohydrate, protein, sugars | each under 0.5 g per 8 ml | That makes it a very light daily serving. |
| Salt | under 0.01 g per 8 ml | The amount is negligible. |
Because colostrum is a natural raw material, taste, colour and cloudiness can vary slightly from bottle to bottle. According to LR this does not affect quality. If it looks cloudy, simply shake it.
How will it fit into your day?
- Once a day, fill the cap to the mark (8 ml) and drink it neat or mixed with cold fruit juice.
- Never with hot drinks: heat would undo the point of the cold process.
- Store cool and dark. Once opened, keep it in the fridge and use within 16 days.
- Easy routine: keep it next to the orange juice and take it with breakfast.
| Pack | Lasts | Price | Per day, roughly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bottle (125 ml) | about 15 days | £49.99 | £3.33 |
Liquid or capsules: which colostrum suits you?
Both LR colostrum products carry the SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS quality seal and use colostrum from European cows only. The difference is in how you take them:
| Product | Choose it if… | Daily amount | Pack lasts | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Colostrum Liquid | you want colostrum in its liquid form, cold-processed and not pasteurised | 8 ml a day | about 15 days | £49.99 |
| Colostrum Capsules | you want something you can take anywhere, with no fridge needed | 2 capsules a day (800 mg colostrum powder) | 30 days | £53.89 |
Is there anything to watch out for?
- Contains milk: it is not suitable if you are allergic to cow’s milk protein.
- Are you pregnant or breastfeeding, managing a health condition or taking medication? Ask your GP or pharmacist before you start.
- What about the calves? A cow produces more colostrum than her calf needs. LR only uses the surplus.
What do people ask about it?
What exactly is colostrum?
It is the first milk a cow produces after giving birth, especially rich in nutrients for the newborn calf. LR uses only colostrum from the first hours, when the quality is at its highest.
How do I take Colostrum Liquid?
Fill the cap to the mark (8 ml) once a day and drink it neat or in cold fruit juice. Do not mix it with hot drinks.
How long does an opened bottle keep?
Keep it in the fridge once opened and use it within 16 days. At 8 ml a day, a 125 ml bottle lasts about 15 days, so the timing works out.
Why does the colour sometimes look different?
Colostrum is a natural product, so small variations are normal. According to LR they are not a sign of a quality problem.
Is LR colostrum independently tested?
Yes. It carries the SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS quality seal, which LR says is based on regular, independent and covert checks.
